Goal: Stop stay-at-home protests that are threatening the health and safety of the public during the coronavirus crisis.

Another wave of far right stay-at-home protests have broken out in Michigan thanks to anti-lockdown group Michiganders Against Excessive Quarantine. Lawmakers and concerned citizens fear the group will incite an eruption of political violence.

Michigan’s attorney general, Dana Nessel, characterized “credible threats” against state Democratic politicians after the group’s Facebook page made dangerous remarks regarding Governor Gretchen Whitmer in response to her extended stay-at-home order. One post allegedly called for Whitmer’s assassination, saying “Wonder how long till she’s hit with a shotgun blast.” Facebook shut down Michiganders Against Excessive Quarantine, and they now operate under the page Stand Up Michigan. This comes despite statistics that show Michigan has some of the highest rates of Covid-19 infection in the country.

Anti-lockdown protests have routinely attracted militia members who defy social distancing guidelines and tote assault rifles. Sign below to demand Michiganders Against Excessive Quarantine stop inciting militarized protests that threaten the health and safety of the public during the coronavirus crisis.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Mr. Soldano,

Those who support and abide by quarantine restrictions due to the life-threatening coronavirus crisis are enjoying this no more than you. They are simply taking the necessary precautions to protect themselves and the community.

You are provoking political violence and contributing to the spread of Covid-19. I demand that you stop inciting militarized anti-lockdown protests in order to protect public health and safety.

That’s one of the many, many, many problems with these radical far right extremists is that they militarize everything and gather in groups complete with their firearms and flag waving, as if they think that makes them more patriotic than other people. They really need to get over themselves, stay over themselves and get real.

Mr. Garrett Soldano. You are a total ignorant idiot. Should educate yourself on the need’s required to stop the spread of this virus. I don’t think you have what it takes to lead anyone to anything, unless you are an enemy of the United States and you are using the pandemic as a tool to create problems for the authorities and compromise the welfare of other civilians.
